Detachable keyboard for ipad

Why has my detachable keyboard for my iPad stopped working? It was working earlier but is now not working. I have turned the iPad off and then on to no avail.

Remove the iPad from the Magic or Smart folio Keyboard - and carefully/gently clean the smart connector contacts on both the iPad and keyboard with a soft pencil eraser (a drafting-film eraser is ideal). Ensure that the contacts on both iPad and keyboard are dirt and dust free - and all debris from the eraser have been removed - before reconnecting the two.

If you can't connect your iPad to your Magic Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, or Smart Keyboard Folio - Apple Support
